Matt... Yes, one of the last acquired by Midland Red before they closed. The original order was for 40 buses but they had to cut it back to just 25 due to lack of money.

This example was acquired by John Coles (Phil’s brother) about 7 years ago and today was its first day out after a very long restoration. The paint was done professionally and is stunning. I’m not a huge National fan, but that is a job very well done.
